Contracrostipunctus, follow the rabbit on this one and you'll find the origin of "I" aka a self aware being. 

 

Palindrome:

a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward, e.g., madam

 

Esher's illustration Crab Canon is a visual palindrome

 

Maurits%20Cornelis%20Escher%20-%20Crab%2

 

Gudel's poem titles Crab is a linguistic palindrome. Read it forward to the end, continue reading backwards to the beginning and it continues to make sense.

 

And J.S. Bach's piece also titled Crab Canon is played simultaneously forward and backward and it melodically supports itself perfectly.

 

A crab is the only animal in nature who can only walk sideways, and who's DNA is a palindrome

In relative scale using Schrodinger's solar system model of an atom, the distance of an electron orbiting the outer edge of the electron cloud around the nucleus of an atom is equivalent to the Earth’s distance to the sun.

Random fact for Tuesday March 10th 2015:   March 10th will fall on this exact same date ,,every year,,,,,,,, for eternity

 

What if calendars become extinct in the next quantum evolutionary leap in the time space continuum? In the future perhaps "now" will be the correct date and time reference point for everything. eg, I will see you two day 13 hours and 34 minutes from now. Or where were you on the night of 17 days 4 hours and 21 minutes before now?

Since calendars predated clocks by approximately ,, as they say in the scientic community  "a shit long time"  if there was no calendars that would probably mean the clocks stopped working and If there was no clocks,,, how would you ever know it had been 24  hrs yet?

 

 

 

It's like Bill S. Preston once said,,,  Why would we lie to ourselves?
